Filmmaker Rahul Rawail (director of Betaab, Anjamand Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya) on Tuesday posted a picture of himself with actor Rishi Kapoor on his (unverified) Facebook page and wrote: "Rishi Kapoor (Chintu) is cancer free." The picture was taken during a special screening of Sanju, which featured Rishi Kapoor's son Ranbir in the lead role. After Rahul Rawail's post went viral on social media, news agency IANS reported that Rishi Kapoor's actor brother Randhir Kapoorr was "swamped with calls" to verify the information shared by Rahul Rawail. Randhir Kapoor told IANS: "Rishi is doing much better. He has to finish his course of treatment, and will be back in India in the next few months." Rishi Kapoor left for the treatment of an undisclosed ailment in September 2018 and so far, all his family members have refrained from sharing the details of his illness or medical procedure.

In March, a source close to the Kapoors told news agency IANS that Rishi Kapoor was feeling 'homesick' and he's eager to return home. "Rishi is homesick and very eager to return home. They have a wedding to plan. And he's counting the days," the source was quoted as saying. It has been reported that Rishi Kapoor wants to return in time for Ranbir Kapoor's rumoured impending wedding to actress Alia Bhatt, who stood by the Kapoors in their difficult time.
Recently, Ranbir Kapoor also reiterated that his father will be home soon in an interview with news agency PTI.
